These are perhaps the most sustainable shoes on planet
Did you know that more than 20 billion pairs of shoes are manufactured annually? And that almost all of them contain some form of plastic and are non-biodegradable. This means that all of these will eventually end up in our landfills and will continue to pollute the planet for hundreds of years.
